i just bought this computer, gateway phenom x4 9100e quad core 1.8ghz, 4gigs ram, ATI Radeon HD 3200 http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1218038551741 and i figured it would play 1080p movies without problems but I guess I dont know that much about the processing power 1080p requires.
I installed k-lite codec pack 5.0 and also tried combined community codec pack (cccp)
windows media player classic will play the movie the best with only a few frames getting skipped, but if i try to go to later part of the movie, it basically freezes and starts eating up memory. it goes up to 1.8gigs before it stops
vlc player is much more choppy but i can jump to different parts of the movie and it wont freeze but its still very choppy. i tried to "Put the skip-filter for H264 to all" but it didnt help.
my older hp with an AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800 2.0 GHz, 2 gigs ram, and an ATI Raedon HD 4350 played 1080p much better then the new comp using the same media players.
i could put the raedon 4350 in the new comp. it has 512mb memory vs the 3200 which has 256 shared. would this solve the problem? i love the new gateway bc it has a separate hdmi port on the back which goes right to my 46" samsung lcd. the computer even recognizes when switching to the tv and adjusts the audio to play on the tv. on my older comp with the raedon 4350, i had to enable/disable the audio drivers for sound to play on the tv. it was very annoying
any ideas?
